4 out of 5 stars Fun Climb - Bit Dirty

This was fun climb. As said before, one polished section. Very dirty while we were there, and warm in the afternoon with the sun on us.

Hang Dog Hang Dog ascent by: MonkeySpank on 2009-09-19 (View Climbing Log)

2 out of 5 stars Rubber don't work on glass

Requires strong core power to layback through the slick as glass middle. I had to hangdog it.

3 out of 5 stars Fun but....

Fun climb with a section of, you guessed it, slick feet. Makes Bloody Crack at Looking Glass look well textured. A few stems, finger locks and jams add to the fun. Top was dirty.

5 out of 5 stars Probably my favorite 5.9 at the New

I really enjoyed this climb and found the crux section to be very thought provoking and core intensive.

2 out of 5 stars Frustrating

There is about a 3'x3' section that is as smooth as glass... not hard once you figure it out but hard to onsight.

5 out of 5 stars Classic

Climbed this one a long time ago. I was happy to get back on it but blew the alzheimers onsight at the crux with a slipped foot on polished stone.

Red Point Red Point ascent by: Hennessey on 2008-09-24 (View Climbing Log)

4 out of 5 stars .

I think the crux is about 12 feet up where the rock gets real polished. There is a cam wedged at the top in a flake. Tried to free it, but it's pretty stuck. I guess that's why someone left it
